English Premier League All-Stars, 2012-13

It’s a slow scandal weekend, so why don’t we name our Power Line EPL all-stars for the just completed season? We’ll name three teams, like last year. And, as always, you should assume that the players you believe were criminally omitted would have made Power Line’s fourth team.

A few points of possible interest. First, there sure are a lot of Belgian players in these teams. I count six of them: Vertonghen, Hazard, Benteke, Mignolet, Fellaini, and Lukuka. Heck, that’s only two fewer than the number of Englishmen.

Second, only Baines and Van Persie are repeat-members of the first team. And only Bainsey has made our first team for three years in a row.
